EBOM-2009 EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance
Our project is a mixed use building used by community groups and has several different space types within it (theater, classrooms, event areas, kitchen, offices). Can I break these spaces out on the Case 2 calculator by square footage essentially creating a weighted average for the building's adjusted national average EUI?

Tim, The last time I saw a similar situation (which was a while ago now), it was not standardly allowable to break up space types in the Case 2 calculator in this way, though in some situations it might be allowable / appropriate.
At a minimum, I would recommend reaching out to GBCI once the project is registered to get clearance on this approach. I've found that when it comes to the Case 2 calculator in particular, they are willing to engage prior to the official review process to sort out thorny situations.
